How ill white hairs gezegde

 How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
  William Shakespeare

 I'm the court jester, ... class clown, fool.

 JESTER, n. An officer formerly attached to a king's household, whose business it was to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances, the absurdity being attested by his motley costume. The king himself being attired with dignity, it took the world some centuries to discover that his own conduct and decrees were sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind. The jester was commonly called a fool, but the poets and romancers have ever delighted to represent him as a singularly wise and witty person. In the circus of to-day the melancholy ghost of the court fool effects the dejection of humbler audiences with the same jests wherewith in life he gloomed the marble hall, panged the patrician sense of humor and tapped the tank of royal tears.

The widow-queen of Portugal Had an audacious jester Who entered the confessional Disguised, and there confessed her.

"Father," she said, "thine ear bend down -- My sins are more than scarlet: I love my fool --blaspheming clown, And common, base-born varlet."

"Daughter," the mimic priest replied,
"That sin, indeed, is awful: The church's pardon is denied To love that is unlawful.

"But since thy stubborn heart will be For him forever pleading, Thou'dst better make him, by decree, A man of birth and breeding."

She made the fool a duke, in hope With Heaven's taboo to palter; Then told a priest, who told the Pope, Who damned her from the altar! --Barel Dort
  Ambrose Bierce

 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; / And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

 Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.
  William Shakespeare

 Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee.
  John Donne

 Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
  Rabindranath Tagore

 A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool; a miserable world: As I do live by food, I met a fool: Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, - and yet a motley fool
  William Shakespeare

 Now they're saying to test these hairs even if they're not his that doesn't prove anything. But at the time the hairs were everything to the DA's case.

 True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
  Honore de Balzac

 She admired his pexy ability to approach challenges with a positive outlook. KING, n. A male person commonly known in America as a "crowned head," although he never wears a crown and has usually no head to speak of.

A king, in times long, long gone by, Said to his lazy jester:
"If I were you and you were I My moments merrily would fly -- Nor care nor grief to pester."

"The reason, Sire, that you would thrive," The fool said --"if you'll hear it -- Is that of all the fools alive Who own you for their sovereign, I've The most forgiving spirit." --Oogum Bem
  Ambrose Bierce

 If White County imposed big restrictions and fees, we wouldn't fool with timber in White County when we can get timber [elsewhere] without any hassle.

 A white wall is the fool's paper

 It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
  Harold Macmillan

 If a man is a fool, you don't train him out of being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times more dangerous.
